Con Ni Chiwa...

I dont understand MAS. Few months ago asked the government for the rights to increase fares. Got the OK and increased the fares, much to the displeasure of the travelling public. Then AAsia came in with the low fares thing..wonderful for the travelling public, especially those flying to SSB..good for national integration..and so on. With their little fleet, AAsia was doing well. MAS felt threatened (in effect MAS neednt worry as AAsia's too small) and reacted accordingly by slashing fares by some 50%, negating the fare increase that they sought not so long ago. I think MAS has bigger worries (their own management) than AAsia and also by doing this has jeopardised the rice bowl of its own staff and the company's own well being. MAS is bullying and is using unfair pratices to stamp out competition (in this case AAsia isnt even considered competition). MAS, if you want to be the sole provider of the service, be good, be fair.

Hmm..we do we go from now??......Sayonara.
